He will surely retire a Panther

Gotta say that's a smart move for them.

Wonder how much they paid him. Seems like the going rate is about $15M a year if you're even OK.

If you can't win a championship, you should go for the money.

The Panthers are handcuffed at receiver. I don't think they had much of a choice here. I look for them to target receiver high in the draft this year. LaFell and Gettis haven't worked out.

good move, hard to say he'll hold up productively for that long, but they still need him. love a fiery guy with a chip on his shoulder
